CA keyboard with redefined multix variant
STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Multilingual Standard (selected as French (Canada) - intl.)

3. Right-click the desktop or an empty portion of the panel to obtain a context
menu
4. Install the attached keyboard layout as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ca,
reboot, and the problem goes away
5. Reinstall the original /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ca and the problem returns

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. This may be a Qt bug, since Qt has a somewhat strained relationship with
xkb.
2. In order to reproduce this bug, it may be necessary to set the system locale
to one such as EO, which X assumes to be encoded in iso8859-3 and the rest of
Kubuntu assumes to be encoded in UTF-8.
3. This may not be the only keyboard that causes the problem. I read out on the
web that there is a German variant that triggers it as well, but this is the
only one I know of from experience.
